Steve Ebay Bradford a how are you man? I'm doing fantastic. How are you sir? Oh, it's a good day because we get to do some work we get to see each

other that's right and we're lucky to be joined by a fun work friend. Oh man, I can't wait to talk to this dude. Yes, so he's been on

gosh, well, he'll tell you what year did you come on 2000 2012 2012

2012. There he is. Nurse Felix the multifaceted nurse Felix, we got Mark Samuel here. Hey, Samuel, what's up? What's up? Hey, how are you guys?

How are you? I can't wait for you guys to see this on YouTube because he's got beautiful paneling behind him. He's amazing.

It is amazing. We actually we're just talking in the green room socially distance I might add. Yes, and he said that he kind of you know wanted to get out of L.A.

And we don't you don't have to tell your your known location, but GPS look like give us your

Let's go. We don't need your location. Well, if you did latitude longitude that nobody would know where you were. Yeah, that's true.

But yeah, he's he's up there now just chilling outside the city relaxing, which is amazing. But before we get to that, because I know he's kind of needed to take a deep breath and get out of L.A.

Like a lot of people do, but yeah, well, you can't take a deep breath in L.A. You will either get like pollution poisoning or the COVID.

We ain't trying to get that.

Ronan.

No, nobody is. Oh, man. So Mark, man, there's so much to talk about, but I just we always kind of want to go back to where it all started for you.

Oh my gosh. That's a fun story. So.

Yeah, I was chilling mind in my own business as we we after tend to do and my manager manager called and said, hey, there's a role on.

General hospital that they're looking to fill to play a nurse. He's a gay out nurse. Now.

None of those things mean whatever I was like, whatever is clever, man, I just figured.

Sounds like a fun opportunity. Let me go in. I hadn't I hadn't seen Mark Tessner since I had arrived in Los Angeles. And that was years before that 99 or 2000.

I first met Mark Tessner and I read for him. And he had given some really nice feedback to my manager and said, you know, we'll keep an eye on him.

He seems like a good dude. And I was like, OK, and nothing for years. And that's for those who don't know acting is not always a linear path. Sometimes, you know, you can meet somebody a decade before you end up working with them or for them.

Or, you know, whatever. So I thought, OK, cool. So I went in for this audition. And it was about around the time that I had a really couple good years in a row, doing other stuff.
